In making an alloy, a substance of specific gravity ${s_1}$ and mass ${m_1}$ is mixed with another substance of specific gravity ${s_2}$ and mass ${m_2}$; then the specific gravity of the alloy is
c (c)Specific gravity of alloy $ = \frac{{{\rm{Mass of alloy }}}}{{{\rm{Volume of alloy}} \times {\rm{density of water }}}}$
$ = \frac{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}{{\left( {\frac{{{m_1}}}{{{\rho _1}}} + \frac{{{m_2}}}{{{\rho _2}}}} \right) \times {\rho _w}}}$$ = \frac{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}{{\frac{{{m_1}}}{{{\rho _1}/{\rho _w}}} + \frac{{{m_2}}}{{{\rho _2}/{\rho _w}}}}} = \frac{{{m_1} + {m_2}}}{{\frac{{{m_1}}}{{{s_1}}} + \frac{{{m_2}}}{{{s_2}}}}}$ $\left[ {{\rm{As\, specific \,gravity \,of\,substance }} = \frac{{{\rm{density \,of\, substance }}}}{{{\rm{density\, of \,water}}}}} \right]$

A flat plate of area $10\,cm^2$ is separated from a large plate by a layer of glycerine $1\, mm$ thick. If the coefficient of viscosity of glycerine is $20$ poise, the force required to keep the plate moving with a velocity of $1\,cm/sec$ is .......... $dyne$
An air bubble of $1\, cm$ radius is rising at a steady rate of $2.00\, mm/sec$ through a liquid of density $1.5\, gm$ per $cm^3$. Neglect density of air. If $g$ is $1000\, cm/sec^2$, then the coefficient of viscosity of the liquid is
The diagram shows a cup of tea seen from above. The tea has been stirred and is now rotating without turbulence. A graph showing the speed $ v$ with which the liquid is crossing points at a distance $ X$ from $O $ along a radius $XO$ would look like
A tank is filled with water of density $1\,g$ per $cm^3$ and oil of density $0.9\,g$ per $cm^3$ . The height of water layer is $100\,cm$ and of the oil layer is $400\,cm.$ If $g = 980\,cm/sec^2,$ then the velocity of efflux from an opening in the bottom of the tank is
A homogeneous solid cylinder of length $L$$(L < H/2)$. Cross-sectional area $A/5$ is immersed such that it floats with its axis vertical at the liquid-liquid interface with length $L/4$ in the denser liquid as shown in the fig. The lower density liquid is open to atmosphere having pressure ${P_0}$. Then density $D$ of solid is given by
Two solids $A$ and $ B$ float in water. It is observed that $A$ floats with $\frac{1}{2}$ of its body immersed in water and $ B$ floats with $\frac{1}{4}$ of its volume above the water level. The ratio of the density of $ A$ to that of $B$ is
Water is flowing through a channel (lying in a vertical plane) as shown in the figure. Three sections $A, B$ and $C$ are shown. Sections $B$ and $C$ have equal area of cross section. If $P_A, P_B$ and $P_C$ are the pressures at $A, B$ and $C$ respectively then
A tank is filled with water of density $1\,g$ per $cm^3$ and oil of density $0.9\,g$ per $cm^3$ . The height of water layer is $100\,cm$ and of the oil layer is $400\,cm.$ If $g = 980\,cm/sec^2,$ then the velocity of efflux from an opening in the bottom of the tank is
